Parking
• Compact parking structures spread walking destinations less than large surface
parking lots.
• In commercial or civic areas, vehicular parking shall be located in the back of the
building or in a subterranean garage. This is to prevent parking lots in front of
buildings that spread walking distances between buildings, visually impact the
pedestrian environment, and conflict with pedestrian movement in driveways.
• Along multi-family residential streets, vehicular parking shall be located in the
back of the building or in a subterranean garage. A maximum of one level of
parking garage shall be permitted above natural grade up to a maximum of 7 feet
in height. Any portion of the parking garage above grade shall be mechanically
ventilated and enclosed, except for the driveway.
• Commercial properties that have vehicle parking in front should also have a
physical separation between the parking and sidewalk to prevent intrusion into the
sidewalk.
• Parking structure entrances shall be designed in a way that minimizes the occurrence
of vehicles waiting for gates to open. Entry controllers shall be set back a minimum
of 20 feet from the property line.
• Parking lots in new commercial development should be pedestrian friendly in
keeping with the goals of the City. Walkways should be in place to gain entry to
the parking lot and pedestrian friendly arteries should be in place to allow for easy
and safe walking between buildings.
